Rapper Nicki Minaj has called on young Americans to participate in the 2026 midterm elections, urging them to “vote red” while reaffirming her support for President Donald Trump.
Minaj made the remarks during an appearance on “My View with Lara Trump”, as Americans prepare for the November 3 midterm elections.
Minaj urges young voters to participate
The music star told young Americans not to underestimate the importance of their votes.
She encouraged them to take part in elections at different levels, not only presidential contests.
Minaj said young people should consider how much influence they want over decisions affecting their country and communities.
She later made her political preference clear, telling young voters to support Republican candidates in November.
“Please, and vote red now,” she said.
Minaj reaffirms support for Trump
The rapper also spoke openly about her support for Trump during the interview.
Minaj described the president as “a very authentic person” and said she appreciates what she sees as his willingness to speak candidly rather than follow a script.
She said that approach has contributed to her view of Trump and added that she has made it her mission to support him.
Trump has also publicly praised Minaj, describing her as a “fantastic person.”
Rapper discusses her political views
Minaj also criticised the Democratic Party during the conversation.
She argued that Democrats have become too focused on pop culture and said their relationships with artists had influenced how they interact with entertainers.
The rapper also reflected on her personal journey after arriving in the United States and building her music career.
She said her fans witnessed her struggles as she worked toward success and described her experience as part of the American dream.
Minaj’s comments add to her increasingly public political involvement ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, particularly her stated support for Trump and Republican candidates.
